Lab Automation Market | Driven by Increasing Use in Healthcare Industry

Posted by Dheeraj Shaha on March 19th, 2020

North America is projected to account for the largest share of the global lab automation market. The demand for lab automation in North America is driven by the increasing number of investments in research and innovation by the government, large presence of pharmaceutical R&D labs in this region, and lab automation adoption by hospitals and clinical diagnostic labs due to increasing volume of tests.

Factors such as process miniaturization, high demand for lab automation equipment in drug discovery and clinical diagnostics, higher reproducibility and accuracy, and large workforce demand and supply gap are likely to drive the growth of this market. In addition, lab automation offers enhanced productivity and reduced costs, better personnel safety, and small volumes of samples and reagents.

The lab automation market is projected to reach USD 5.20 Billion by 2022 from USD 4.06 Billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 5.1%.
